Better for your tenants – and you

Take advantage of valuable cash incentives* for energy efficient measures installed in your multifamily properties of five units or larger. We also offer assistance with Oregon Department of Energy tax credits, available to any size rental property in Oregon. Properties must be served by Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas to qualify for Energy Trust cash incentives.

Increasing the energy efficiency of your property is a win-win scenario. Over 14,000 units have already participated. Once you install or replace existing equipment with energy efficient choices, you'll have lower maintenance costs, increased tenant retention, healthier indoor air quality and a higher resale value. Energy efficient choices also increase your tenants' comfort and reduce their energy costs.
